After some advice

Hi all
So I received a parking ticket a shirt while back.
I contested this parking ticket as I clearly had one displayed and appealed this through the online appeals section. I never heard anything back in the time frame that they had set. Now today, I've received a letter from zzps stating I owe them £100 pcn and £60 administration fees.

What is the best plan of attack?
A. Was not in breach of the rules of the car park
B. Had already provided them with evidence of ticket and photos both online and postal

Not a happy chaps today
Thanks in advance

  • Hi there,
    I have a bit of a read through there a little and am just trying to get my head round it.
    The original NCP was with NCP Ltd.
    The car park in question was Bruton way Gloucester. The most annoying this is I still even had time on the ticket.
    :mad:
  • Oops I meant pcn was from NCP Ltd

    Did you provide NCP with your name and full postal address in the appeal?

    PPCs will use any reason not to respond to an appeal. If their appeals procedure required the appellant’s name and full address and it wasn’t provided, they won’t respond.

    You could complain to the BPA about this and see if you can squeeze a POPLA code, but I don’t rate your chances of success.

    You’re at debt collector stage and the NEWBIES FAQ sticky, post # 4 provides all the advice needed in dealing with debt collectors - in short, ignore them.

    Further standard advice is not to ignore a LBCCC or real court papers. Come back if you get either, but NCP are pretty benign.
